英国感叹号新规遭吐槽

"A sentence that ends in an exclamation mark, but which does not have one of the grammatical patterns shown above, is not considered to be creditworthy as an exclamation (e.g. exclamatory statements, exclamatory imperatives, exclamatory interrogatives or interjections)," it says.

指导文件称：“以感叹号结尾的句子，但是前面却没有任何跟感叹号有关的语法结构，会被认为是感叹号的错误用法（比如，感叹性的陈述句、感叹性的祈使句、感叹性的疑问句或感叹性的插入语）。”

A source at the Department for Education denied the move was intended to curb the proliferation of the exclamation mark in text messages and social media.

英国教育部的一位消息人士称，此举并非是为了控制感叹号在短信和社交媒体上的滥用现象。

The curriculum also acknowledges that an exclamation mark can be used in other ways such as to give emphasis to a statement or command. A source said: "We’re not telling pupils to not use exclamation marks. The guidance is on what marks can and can’t be awarded in these tests.”

课程标准也承认感叹号可以在其他情况下使用，例如要对陈述句进行强调时，或者表达命令时。消息人士称：“我们不是不让学生使用感叹号。指导文件说的是考试的时候，感叹号怎么用得分，怎么用不得分。”

John Sutherland, emeritus professor of modern English literature at University College London, told the Sunday Times that the guidance was "ridiculous".
